Squirrel Tugging the Qantas Banner today
 

That was one pretty big banner.What size was it?How much weight was on that ballast?How much power were you pulling and at what speed heading west?
That was a pretty cool nose down attitude!!!

CABAIR FLAG Is the baby out of Elstree.

been talked about on here many times - do a quick search fella!

For the first time, prob due to the vis, Heathrow inbounds were all mentioning it......... Gettigng quite twitchy in fact. Bless 'em!!

Normalbloke

Obviously it wasn't that big otherwise you would know that there isn't a U in QANTAS.

Bloody Poms!!

Ing-er-land
 

seeing as it's the QUeens enqlish
probably just force of habit

next time you come across one, try getting a spanish speaking person to pronounce QANTUS (without blushing)

Qantas, with or without a U!
 

Thanks people.I was just beimg lazy.Have been out of aviation for a wee while now but my curiosity got the better of me.

Then there was one flying in Manchester on Sunday evening also another one during the week over Bath.

Queensland And Northern Territory Aerial Services Ltd...or something to that effect?

Ahem
 

It's actually - Queensland And Northern Territories Airline Service.

And i'm a not a pom but English, in Sydney Aus.

Oh, I must have been missinformed.

I always thought that it stood for "Queens and Nancies Together As Stewards"

OA

?? OK, I was mis-informed, my source of info was obviously wrong ( the QANTAS website) :)

QANTAS History

407driver, good on you; stand by your guns!:ok:

AirHairLair, last time I heard your name was on the Kenny Everret show (Army officer selection process!):)

Hippolite; you not a pom anymore then????;)

Barshifter,

This one's the right way round! Over Frankfurt, I believe...

Can anyone provide a picture of one of these banners on the ground before attachment ?

John Eacott I believe you are right it sure does look like Frankfurt.

Very Nice.

Anyone who wants to know how big they are on the ground,all you need to do is fly over Elstree and just north of the runway on the grass is a large cut out sqare in the grass and the flag fits neetly into it.....is there a U in sqare ???????????

And here is one that got away, near Marlow.
